Inspiration

Standing on wet cobblestones.

Where does inspiration come from? It’s a difficult question. Sometimes it comes easily with ideas and energy flowing wildly through my mind. These are the times when we cannot work fast enough to keep up with this flow. Other times, it can feel like we are stalled. It can feel like nothing inspires us and everything is stale and passé.

It’s at these times that we should step back, slow down, and make a concerted effort to observe our surroundings. If we can try to look at things from a new perspective or to look at things up close. Make the effort to see something new or to see the everyday onbjects in a new light.

This is what I try to do when I find myself struggling to feel the inspiration to create. The process can inform so much about the world around us and it may even inform your next burst of creative energy.
